Wondering if anyone can spot anything obvious without spending too much time with regards to my current code base. I have a 40 gallon breeder with two RW4's on either side, about middle height in tank. Anyway as the day wore on I noticed that it got a bit turbulent and/or violent with regards to water movement with the last if statement that is doing the nutrient export showing pwm A and pwm D at 184% (not sure how) and causing a 2 to 4 inch wave in my little tank. While it looked super cool that wave was really huge and almost made it out of the tank before I caught it...

I was adding in the weather/storm lighting routine and then did the various flow patterns but don't see how I can get so much movement unless I somehow have the pwm for lights mixed in with DCPumps. I overrode the pwm a and b last night and manually set to 25 or 27 to stop it. I just canceled and the two both shot up to 184% again

So I have something goofy going on and the flow is way too much for the tank. Anyway if it is obvious let me know. Otherwise I'll try and swap around the flow patterns after each upload and see if I can find out the cause.

And things seem to run a lot better and the RW's not spooling or reporting 184% on the portal or client. I don't recall what 3000 did as the last parameter with the NutrientTransport mode but once I removed it everything settled in. Only other change was at the beginning whereas I originally had:
